Ran in 3 of the last 7 terms. Winter 2027: not on the schedule. Spring 2027: schedule not out yet.

Design of MOS and bipolar analog integrated circuits at the transistor level, with an emphasis on the design of single-stage and multi-stage op amps. Related topics include biasing, compensation and noise will be covered. In addition, higher level analog and mixed analog/digital subsystems will be discussed, time permitting. Students enrolling in this course are expected to have a background equivalent to the material covered in ECE 242, formerly ECE 332.

  • Just like a typical analog course, started from OpAmp as usual and ended up with switch cap circuit since Prof. Levine likes SC circuits. If you did Prof Sedra's 444 and Prof Long's 432, to be honest, you won't learn much from this course (It will be a cake).
